Discover the Workshop
Together, with our combined love for animals and art, we craft extraordinary mixed-media wildlife creations. We learn how to draw, paint, and build our favorite animals in both realistic and creative forms using a wide array of artistic mediums, like bookmaking and weaving. We also learn about some amazing animals and the qualities that make them unique as we get ready for this animal adventure! Projects range from nature mandalas to ceramic animal windchimes.

In addition to being a local art teacher, Katie is a Colorado native whose multimedia work explores mental health, connection with nature, and women’s rights.
